8 Affordable Ways to Boost A
Home Curb Appeal
Your home's curb appeal could be make or break for the amount of
showings you have. In the same way curb appeal can attract potential
buyers through your door, a less than spectacular home front can also
be a detractor. From upgrading landscaping to refreshing paint,
consider these eight affordable ways to boost your home's curb
appeal and entice buyers to add your home to their "must see" list:
Update Outdoor Lighting
An easy way to instantly add interest and depth to an outdoor space is
to replace dated lighting fixtures with new ones. There are many
lighting options on the market in a wide range of colors and styles. Most
choices are quite affordable and you will be amazed at what a few
dollars can do in upgrading the overall look of your outdoor space.
Keep It Mowed
A freshly mowed lawn is essential to boosting your curb appeal when
trying to sell your home. Mowing your lawn on a weekly or 10 day basis
will allow it to grow enough between mows so that you don't damage
the grass. Make sure to also allow time for edging and clear away any
clippings before your house is shown to potential buyers. Keeping your
lawn in top condition is always a good idea to boost curb appeal.
Fix The Small Things
Do a thorough look through your front porch to find any small issues that have gone
unnoticed for years. Fix small things like a slit in the window screen, tightening the
mailbox, or replacing a burned out lightbulb. Attending to these small things can
add up when it comes to receiving an offer for your home.
Add Some Flowers
Pick up a few beautiful sets of flowers from the garden center and plant them in a
pot next to the front door. Colorful flowers will add instant beauty to the space and
welcome guests into your home. Consider adding a few different colors to help
create an interesting and inviting atmosphere.
Trim Up Shrubs
Get out your shears and trim up bushes and plants that have overgrown their
spaces. All you need is a little bit of elbow grease to freshen up your landscaping.
Trim bushes into eye pleasing shapes with rounded edges and give every plant in
your garden enough room to shine while still being a part of the overall landscaping
picture.
Touch Up Paint
You most likely have a can of leftover paint in the garage or basement. Use this to
touch up areas of your house that could use a fresh coat of paint. Consider items
like the mailbox, house numbers, or plant pots that have seen a few years since their
last painting. If your front door needs some help consider painting it to add a fresh
look to your home.
Power Wash It
You will be amazed by the amount of dirt a good power washing
can lift from your home. Renting a power washer for a day is also a
good and affordable way to add curb appeal to your home.
Another affordable option is to consider borrowing one from a
friend to save on expenses. Pay close attention to the outside of
your home as well as gutters, patios, walkways, and patio furniture.
Add Some Mulch
Picking up a few bags of mulch at a garden center is a great way
to add instant curb appeal to your landscaping. Mulch not only
looks great but it also provides essential help to plants by helping to
retain water as well as keeping weeds at bay. Simply add a few
inches of mulch around trees and garden beds to instantly raise
the overall look of your home.
There are many ways that you can instantly increase your home's
curb appeal without breaking the bank. Consider ways that you
can help your home for little to no cost. Doing any of the above
tips things can help boost your home's resale value.
